Christopher Quick, of Charney Avenue, Abingdon, received a £350 fine after exceeding the motorway speed limit on the M40 near Great Milton.

He was travelling at 82mph in an area subject to a 70mph limit.

The speeding offence occurred on September 23 last year near marker post 76/7B and Junction 7 in Oxfordshire.

Quick admitted the offence when he appeared at Reading Magistrates’ Court on October 20 this year.

Following his guilty plea, the court imposed the £350 fine and a £140 surcharge to support victim services.

Quick was also required to pay £85 in costs to the Crown Prosecution Service, and a collection order was issued.

The court added three penalty points to Quick’s driving record.

Its decision referred to motorway speed-limit regulations introduced in 1974.
